Sauron in the Hobbit

It is a bit funny, when the Elves leaves out letters it's interesting, when kids do it it's just text speech and annoying.

So it would be ñtr, but with the wavy thing underneath the n. And in tengwar, of course. Come to think of it, it would sort of look like this:

Loremasters back!

That's right Amarie, or possibly (using a variant for final r), sort of like this too:

I know tengwar! I wirte it fluently ^^

I write it drowningly! Ooo, and I've been meaning to ask, what do you use for æ, æ and å?

oh.. I tried making my own letters, but I ended up with o for ø, a for å, e and a for æ. doesn't really work, I try to avoid those letters, but it aint easy. Sometimes I put the a under instead of over with the æ, cause the other solution looks ridiculous.

the skj-sound (skj, sj, sk)and the kj-sound(k, ki, kj) is harder though. cause it's the same sound but with different letter, so should I write all the letters or just the "sound" letter which is tecnically more correct..? also looks ridiculous with to many consontants pressed together, especially k and j which looks very similar.

Yup, exactly the same things I've been thinking about as well.

The necromancer, guaranteed to get Petty's crabbit on.

I refuse to even comment on that Mrs Figgs beond to say you'd have to get a fitting for something like that- now there's a job-Saurons tailor, "I'll just take your inside leg, Lord Sauron. And which side does sir dress on?"

Nothing like a shiny helmet to get you steamed up eh?

I'm afraid the younger and fairer amongst us may not catch that, Petty.

hint from "Coupling": 'Oh, he's a tripod.'

"Nothing like a shiny helmet to get you steamed up eh?"- Mrs Figg

I dont mind em shiny its all the spikes that worry me! You could have an eye out.
And whats with the shoulderpads? Its like Dallas in ironmongery. J.R. Necromancer, Orc Baron

OK, was that on purpose? I mean, considering the Eye of Sauron after all.


I don't want to miss a pun.

Don't you Europeans ever go to sleep?

Only if there is the danger of imminent sobriety.

the "wirte" was not intended I was just too fast.
that link is in swedish, but yes, it could help thanks ^^

Norc wrote: that link is in swedish, but yes, it could help

Yes I knew that this paper describes (in Swedish) how Swedish can be written with Tengwar, and I was thinking that a couple of the invented tehtar here could be stolen for a Norwegian mode: perhaps the a-tehta with five dots for å, and the 'inverted' a-tehta for æ (used for ä in this Swedish mode). The Beleriandic system aside here.

Not attested by Tolkien of course, but then again obviously the Elves didn't speak Norwegian or Swedish...

... just Finnish, Latin and Welsh

Elthir breathes yet ---- ooooooooh.

The rarified air of the Loremasters Tower? who knows? its a mystery.

Most Finns also speak Swedish I believe, so why shouldn't the elves?

That was a nice link, Elthir. Five dots and up-side-down A has crossed my mind and sketch book too, I truly dislike using oe, ae and aa when writing, especially with Tengwar.

yeah, it really helped, I've printed it out and I am going to give it a go today.

hell, I can read swedish

I can read Swedish too... it just makes no sense to me when I sound out the words

[sorry, as I say I was recently behorsed for a time, and one doesn't get over that all at once]


I do know what Bjorn Borg means however and I did figure out 'exempel' for instance, in Per's article.
